A Penny for Your Thoughts

When I looked at this Lion image this old saying came to mind!

Have a good weekend 😊

WHERE IS THE TAIL?

THE KING

In the language of the Zulus the words for ‘King’ and for a ‘male Lion’ are one and the same: iNgonyama

Night Drive

It is very exciting when Lions pass a safari vehicle during a night drive.

The cats are used to this passing in the night, but for first time safari guests it is an incredible experience!

The Big Five in one drive!

We went on game drive this afternoon to find Elephants, but we got much more. As we left the Thanda Safari Lodge we encountered two male Lions and when we stopped to watch a few Warthogs and Impalas we spotted a large male Leopard hunting. After this very special encounter we continued on our Elephant quest and almost immediately ran into a White Rhino. And towards the end of the drive we finally found the long-noses.

What a day! The Big Five on one drive.

On a mission …

In this picture one of Thanda Safari’s male Lions was tracking some females using his sense of smell.

The morning after I took this image he had caught up with the ladies, who were ‘hanging out’ with the dominate male, my photo model’s brother.

He therefore kept a respectful distance to the pride to avoid any conflicts.
